What car you driving.?

[Tcx607]

my civic comes with peddle shift. Usually in SIN, I do not use them.

However, in malaysia especially Genting and C.Highland coming down from mountain, I use it all the time.

I like to use engine brake to slow down the car for corners.

i use it to control my D-mode better, usually its very sluggish and not responsive enough.

 

i could do that in S-mode but fuel consumption will take a hit and S-mode is louder, I don't like it.

 

no offence to anyone but i think more gears better for playing with paddle shifters.

Paddle shift is fun, you can drag your gears if you want to, you can down gear while taking a bend to exit faster (and smoother), you can upshift one gear and let the car roll when you see a red light up ahead, you can down gear and do engine break while going down slope and last but not least the feel of tapping on the paddle shift is song!

Same here. LOL.

 

Sports mode (which controls throttle response, suspension, etc) is more fun.

Great for engaging fast corners. But I need more practice and getting use to.

gear shifting gives u more control... and more fun driving.

in addition to the usual gear stick, my shift just a pair of buttons on my steering wheel.. whenever i turn the wheel (like over 180 deg), the buttons become out of reach.. real troublesome.

 

the paddle is definitely better

well in normal driving (with some aggressiveness involved), the paddle or button out of reach is not so much of troublesome right? you can do it when back in straight. only when in sia kia mode it will post some level troublesome, BUT, do you off handed any of your hands out of steering wheel when in sia kia mode during a turn?????? only steering column mounted shifters will post some issue, not on steering wheel mounted shifters in aggressive driving (since yours is steering wheel mounted)......

I thought for some cases, paddle shifting has some annoying lag?

[Sdf5725]

i thought for layman as like, gear shifting stick is more fun?

[Ocean6576]

So did anyone install any after market paddle shift?
